Derrek Lee got traded at the trade deadline this year. He went to the Cinderella Pittsburgh Pirates and played his first game on August 1st. He promptly hit 2 home runs in his first game with his new team. Even though the game was a loss to the Cubs Lee created a folk hero out of himself right away with the team. It probably won’t happen but I really want this team to make the playoffs and Derrik Lee will have to be a huge part of that.

Lee was great for the Cubs but when I think of him 2 things come to mind; his 2 homers in his first game as a Pirate(against the Cubs) and his huge hit down the third base line as a Marlin (against the Cubs)

As a Royals fan I don’t want to see the cross state rival Cardinals win the central, nor do I want the Brewers(Greinke) to win it. So the Reds or Pirates or even Cubs would be great.
